See Permutation City[0]. Another application is actually masking reactions selectively. There's some interesting aspects that play out with respect to this and some other interesting aspects tech that people will now view as near Sci-Fi. The VR identity cloning is a common Sci-Fi plot, not specifically a Permutation City thing. Great book, highly recommend.

Star citizen has a very basic version of FoIP, it does help convey emotive state even if a little janky.
Add in stuff like head tracking and you get a very natural feeling to interacting. Give me haptics and I'll be super happy.
Hand gestures go a long way too

Of course the "bad" uses of this tech are pretty out there too, from porn apps, to ripping people off by getting a "zoom" from a relative.
